Verdict

Jamie Spencer has been on board for Rutland Boy's two latest victories and the progressive four-year-old will prove difficult to beat despite a 5lb rise for his latest success. Al Aasifh, a Listed winner in 2010, has shown nothing in three starts here though all have been in better company over slightly further so he can probably do better. SAMURAI SWORD made a winning debut at York in 2010 and won at Ascot on his reappearance last May. He hasn't been seen since finishing runner-up in a Newmarket Listed event in October but obviously goes well fresh and is handed the vote. Markazzi is another with an absence to overcome and he's never raced on an artificial surface but Capital Attraction has done tremendously well since arriving here and has been staying on strongly for both recent victories over 7f so this trip looks ideal.
